Always felt this was the weakest Penny from desirability.
Nothing has changed from my perspective...
penny 3s by far
weirdly enough I have an urge to get the black and blue 3s and I never liked them

Nike needs to do the Penny 4 justice and drop them Suns and the black and blue pairs.
Painted plastic midsole. Not surprising. Womp womp
I get and agree with the point about the kids seeing the shoe perhaps for the first time. But, in my opinion,
kids these days are like When we were kids. The majority of them want Hardens, Currys, or Durants. Look at Durant's colorways. Many of them are geared towards kids.
There will certainly be some kids who see something like a Penny IV and love it and want it. But let's be honest, these would hit outlets either way. So why not either:
1. Do them right so the people that actually appreciate the shoe get excited about it and cop at retail
Or
2. Do a couple non-OG colorway and take risks with the materials and do a couple true to the OG. At best, this covers those who care and those that don't. At worst, it's an A/B test for future models
That all being said, sometimes we forget that we are the minority in this sneaker thing. So maybe I'm a moron.
Retail was $130 in 98 for the OG

I actually fully agree with you, that being said, how about a Penny I home OG and Penny IV Suns PE, his first and last real signature shoe that he wore!
I know its manly us older heads that are looking forward to these. But the reality is that they will definitely go on sale. So you only have to wait 3 months after the release to get them for the low. Usually you do see some smart sellers on ebay that see that these aint moving at box price and will put them on sale before the big chain stores do....
The kids just aint feeling the Penny line
I just pray that they do the Footaction Black/Blue color way. We need those more than the Phoenix Suns colorway *shrugs*

Would be a sick pack!
Black/University blue? If so, I had those. Didn't realize it was Footaction exclusive. Thought I remembered buying at Champs.
Nah the black and royal blue joints with the white sole
You're seeing this as a bad thing?The kids just aint feeling the Penny line
160 plus tax..How much are they, $130-$140?
Me too. If they were ugly, there'd be something to talk about. They're just rather generic looking.Always felt this was the weakest Penny from desirability.
